Abstract excerpt
CotA-laccases are potential enzymes that are widely used in decolorization of dyes and degradation of toxic substances. In this study, a novel CotA-laccase gene from Bacillus pumilus W3 was applied for rational design. After a series of site-directed genetic mutations, the mutant S208G/F227A showed a 5.1-fold higher catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) than the wild-type CotA-laccase did. The optimal pH of S208G/F227A...
